Talk:Australian official war artists

Status: notability?
Does it make sense to limit new additions to this list? Is it appropriate at this stage of the article's development to initiate a standard limiting names on this select list to
 * (a) those who already have Wikipedia articles
 * and
 * (b) those who are notable for something other than having depicted war in art -- see, e.g., US Navy Cross edit history?

In a context informed by practices which seem to have worked out well at Navy Cross, all new additions who aren't already featured in an article could be re-redirected to this talk page section with the following edit history explanation:
 * redlink/artist name must be known for something other than depicting war -- see "Status: Notability" on talk page

 * Notes

When any of the above-listed redlink names turn blue, we will know that transferring these names to the talk page was a worthwhile exercise. If none turn blue, then we will have learned that this was a waste of time and effort. --Tenmei (talk) 05:56, 28 July 2010 (UTC)


 * FWIW, several of the listed artists in the article are linked to people who clearly were not Australian official war artists, e.g. Douglas Watson, Alan Moore, Harold Herbert.Weedwhacker128 (talk) 23:03, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * These WWII artists have been removed from the article until articles can be developed for one or more of them. --Tenmei (talk) 23:56, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
